Craig MacTavish

Right, yes.

So I don't want to diminish all these guys, but they're just not at the level that the great teams are at.

And when you look at the avalanche, they have Ross Colton, who they acquired from Nashville late in the year, a really good player, Kadri.

Yeah.

Parker Kelly, who's a local guy, 20-goal score.

Great bottom six forward.

20 goals on the fourth line.

Jack Drury scored a beautiful goal last night.

Well, there were a lot of goals.

And Logan O'Connor.

I mean, those guys are tough.

You look at Carolina.

They got Ehlers, Stahl, and Martinuk on their third line.

Carrier, Jankowski, and Eric Robinson.

Yeah.

Is that fair?

Well, I mean, it was a shocking contract.

when it happened to me anyways it was a shocking contract because i never really saw any great qualities in his game like to me he's not in any if if it wasn't trent frederick if he didn't have a history he he wouldn't make the team i'm sure he's a fantastic person but at some point the coach has to play guys that he thinks are going to help you win you how does that guy

Well, he played on a team that challenged for the best team in the history of the game.

And when you play on a good team like that, any of your individual weakness is hidden because the team strength is so strong.
